Hi everyone! Let me start this off by saying I have very oily skin, sometimes combo as it can get dry around my nose. I've struggled with severe hormonal acne for years, and for the past two months have been on antibiotics and using Tactupump Forte. My skin is finally starting to adjust to it, as it was a brutal process where I had lots of flaking and burning and irritation. My chin and eyes still get dry and flaky, and my skin is still sensitive, but it doesn't burn/react anymore so I'm feeling ready to start reintroducing products (slowly, and as necessary) into my skincare routine.

Before Tactupump, I was always trying new skincare products to see what worked. I would mask 2x a week and exfoliate with a chemical exfoliator like Peter Thomas Roth FirmX Exfolating Peel Gel. I used a retinol serum at night (PTR as well), and a hyaluronic acid (Olay) in the AM. Then of course your cleanser (Tatcha), toner (homemade using rose water and witch hazel), moisturizer (varies, but usually gels and oil-free), sunscreen routine. Repeated in PM without sunscreen. These days I'm using Cetaphil cleanser in the AM, and Cetaphil moisturizer followed by sunscreen. In the PM I'll use the same, and apply my Tactupump Forte. I'm not looking to jump back into everything, but my current issues are dry/flaky patches and lots of oil. I'm looking for some recommendations for exfoliatiors and masks mostly! For masks these days I need both a hydrating option and something to help balance all the excess oil without being harsh on my sensitive skin. I'm thinking of starting to use hyaluronic acid serum again as well. Any recommendations on some products for me? Thanks so much!

Oh, and I typically shop at Shopper's Drug Mart or Sephora. Price isn't a factor, the most important thing is that doesn't irritate my skin. So avoiding alcohols, strong fragrance, charcoal, etc.
